‘People who exercise have more confidence, stand up straighter and control their breathing better in stressful situations.’

Work Out to Get Work: Exercise and Finding a Job
The Washington Post Express, Vicky Hallett, Tuesday, May 19, 2009

I saw this article in the Washington Post Express this morning and I couldn’t help but share it with our readers. You can read it here:

Work Out to Get Work: Exercise and Finding a Job

Combining the job hunt and exercise into a job hunting seminar and workout session is the logical conclusion of what I wrote about in a past blog, about job seekers turning to the gym during the economic downturn. You can read that blog here. There is an opportunity here. The member:

• Doesn’t feel alone in their job hunt;
• Gets some good advice on their job hunt;
• And, gets some endorphin-pumping exercise.

It builds confidence, a sharp mind, and provides a social group. All in one place!
